Filling a newly-created post, Oberoi will report to Mike Khanna, HTA's
chief executive officer. Oberoi, who currently heads the Delhi office as
senior vice-president and general manager, has also been chosen to
succeed Khanna, when he retires next year.
The move ends speculation on the succession issue at India's largest
agency network, following news of Khanna's retirement and a decision by
WPP to increase its stake in HTA from 60 to 74 per cent at a cost of
US$11.9 million.
